Bill Kennedy

Bill Kennedy is currently president and chief technical officer of
ActivMedia, Inc., a new media marketing and marketing research company
based in beautiful Peterborough, NH, but which conducts business with
clients and associates from around the world primarily over the Internet
(http://www.activmedia.com). When not hacking new HTML pages or
writing about them, "Dr. Bill" (Ph.D. in biophysics from Loyola University
of Chicago, of all things!) is out promoting a line of mobile, autonomous
robots as real-world platforms for artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic
research and for education (http://www.rwii.com). Or he's out
drumming up writing assignments from his former colleagues at IDG's
SunWorld/Advanced Systems Magazine (now SunWorld Online;
http://www.sun.com), where he served as a senior editor-features
(at-large over the Internet, of course) for nearly five years. Contact
Dr. Bill directly at bkennedy@activmedia.com.

"Considered the standard text on the subject of HTML and XHTML, this up-to-date volume provides a good mix of tutorial and
reference. It is an essential guide for any serious user of hand-coded Web sites, as well as a comprehensive introduction for the novice. Advanced subjects include Cascading Style Sheets (CSS3), XHTML2, XForms, XFrames, Java applets, JavaScript programs, and much more."
--Michael Kleper, The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing

"If you do web development, you should have one solid HTML/XHTML reference guide on your bookshelf. This one ranks up there... HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide (6th Edition) by Chuck Musciano and Bill Kennedy. Although the CSS and XML sections are a little light, the core HTML and XHTML information is all you could ask for...This book does a good job in blending a bit of tutorial information with a lot of reference material. All the HTML tags that exist are documented, along with whether it's an extension/deprecated/archaic, what type of browser support is involved in using the tag, and all the attributes and locations where it can be used...this is a book that I'll want to keep around for those strange times when my HTML tags just aren't working like they're supposed to."
--Thomas Duff, Duffbert's Random Musings

"Calling this book "The Definitive Guide" is not a misnomer, for that's what it is...Weighing in at over 600 pages means that if it ain't described in here you probably shouldn't be doin' it! And if it is described in here, it's described clearly and accurately. As always, thanks a bunch. I am so much smarter (yeah, right) thanks to you guys! "
--Larry Hannay, Amazon.com

"I was surprised by the format of the book, however I do think it is a good resource for HTML/XHTML. While it is "The Definitive Guide" covering all of the markup tags and attributes it is definitely not a Cookbook or Nutshell book. I would recommend this book to those looking for a reference that is detailed and in a dictionary type format."
